We have been to 17 tournaments and have taken Dec 15th and March 1st off. If we go to both 6U States and qualify for 8U State, that will be another 6 tourneys (counting the Classic). If you start hitting the OK tournaments early, it's not hard to get to 12.

Before anyone starts telling me "that's too much," my boys plan out the tournaments for themselves and pick their weekends off.
